NEW BAND NAME -- Alter Bridge
 

New Band Name announced here


Posted by Flip's mother at FlipOnline's BB.



Personally for me, it'll take a bit of getting used to...but I like it.

I don't get it. If this is all hush-hush then why did Flip's mom tell what the band name is? I think Wind-Up should have told her to not tell anyone. But the name sounds kind of cool.

how is everyone sure this is really Flip's Mom just cause her username says it?

She probably wasn't quite as "in the loop" as much as Michael and all the people working at it. I mean, I'd tell my mom my band name. Wouldn't you?

Anyways, I was expecting something better. Or, cooler, maybe. But, now we know. It's awesome to finally hear.


H-D :bigeyes:

The owners of that BB have confimed it, and have interacted with Mrs. Phillips off the board as well. When the name first showed up, they went about finding out if it was really her or someone with a made-up name, and it is infact Mrs. Phillips.

Anything past that, e-mail the owners of that Board. I'm just passing the info along.

We should get an announcement tomorrow. The band name was barely leaked a while ago. Remember guys, when the Creedpit girls told us about what Mark had to say in the meet and greet, that same day Wind-Up gave an official release. It's a little too late to give a release today, but tomorrow I assume is when Wind-Up will announce it.

I'd like that too...but dude that's a lot of faith in Wind-Up LOL.

And the news from the M&G was posted Sunday, release Monday. I just don't see WU putting it together in time..but who knows...maybe they'll be on the ball about something for once.

Just a note, Wind-up Records has the domain name alterbridge.com reserved:

http://www.betterwhois.com/bwhois.cg...lterbridge.com

It was reserved March 2nd.

Must be true :D

Oh, so then my logic makes more sense now that the meet and greet talk happened a day before. PRESS RELEASE TOMORROW!

haha, I agree.

I wonder if they've been working on the website.

Very cool Steve...I didn't even think to check that out! LOL.

Guess they did want to wait to make sure they could get the domain first...not have to do "Alterbridgenet.com" LOL

Hrmm... there's not many words that rhyme with Alter or Bridge that sound good when put together with alterbridge... guess my fan site naming scheme of having rhyming words won't work anymore :(

Oh, and BTW, alterbridge.net was registered by Dan Tremonti on April 14th...

maybe a "just in case" thing? Maybe they'll do a pager or something to...lordy would that rock!!

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

I'm sure they have. It'll probably be up the same day the release comes out.

Very interesting... :rolleyes:


H-D :bigeyes:

Hey Steve -- Just thought of one. How about "Chill out in the Bridge Fridge"?

Yeah, ok. That's dumb. Nevermind.


H-D :bigeyes:

alter bridge, huh. its goin to take a while to get use to, but sounds good.

hmmmmmmmmmm its an alrite name.....but y did they name their band afta a bridge :eek: Its juz a bit weird thats all...

Alter Bridge is better than most band names out there. Audioslave isn't that original of a name. Linkin Park sounds retarded. Hoobastank, huh? Alter Bridge is as original as Submersed. :D

It's funny that they decided to change their name and to lowercase the letter D in their name. They probably didn't want to be labeled in the nu-metal category. SubmurseD sounds and looks nu-metalish to me. :D

Actually Hoobastank is fairly original...

I don't like that name too much. Sounds kind of dumb. Alter Bridge sounds cool. I'm probably saying this because it's the name of Mark's new band. :D

if i remember correctly, hoobastank is the middle name of one of the members. sounds original to me. if you dont like it, it doesnt change the fact.

That's one weird middle name.

And I never said Hoobastank was an unoriginal name.

my bad

:wow: WOW, AWESOME STUFF!! Well, the fact that we finally have the name is awesome, but Alter Bridge will take some getting used to, I think I like it though. If you say it out loud, Alter Bridge, it sounds really, really nice.

Thanks for posting that, it's very much appreciated, I keep on saying the name over and over again now :laugh:

Here's what a Michigan gal said about Alter Bridge (The actual bridge LOL)...just for some background on it....I dunno it helped make sense to me.

I wonder if that's why they chose that name.

Wow, very cool. I like the name a lot. Thanks for the info, Echelon.

That's pretty cool, it's great to have a significant meaning to a band name

wow it is differnent from what i expected (not really sure what i expected actually:)) but it does have quite a bit of meaning to it. it is a cool name when you say it out loud. i could get used to it and good work Steve! :)

Alter Road is the border of Grosse Pointe Park (where Mark grew up) and Detroit. I think it's a cool name especially since I'm from the Grosse Pointe area.

ah so Mark was a rich boy? :D

Well, I would say they probably weren't hurting for money. But the real money, huge mansions, etc. is in Grosse Pointe. They sub divided Grosse Pointe up and there is the Village of, City of, GP Shores, GP Farms & GP Park.

thanks for the info it sounds like Grosse Pointe is a very large place if it was divided in so many smaller areas. so is there a rivalry between Grosse Pointe and Greater Detroit? rich boys verses the poorer underclass?

I'm sure there is, but I'm closer to GP Shores which is the northern most part. I know there was rivalry between the city I grew up (Roseville) and St. Clair Shores (which is between Roseville & GPS). Roseville is the poorest of the 3.

Actually they were frist named Submerged, but when they god signed Wind-up changed it.

god signed (by) Wind-Up that statement is wrong on so many levels! :D what is the latest with those guys? what we want? a release date! when do we want it? now!

Due to VH1 the release date is 06.30.04

okay that is cool but you would think if that was the case there would be confirmation on their site.
